Pranic Healing
Pranic Healing® is a highly evolved and tested system of energy medicine developed by GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui that utilizes prana to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy processes. Prana is a Sanskrit word that means life-force. This invisible bio-energy or vital energy keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. In acupuncture, the Chinese refer to this subtle energy as Chi. Pranic Healing® is a simple yet powerful & effective system of no-touch energy healing.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual and physical healing that benefits everyone. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. The client lays fully clothed on a massage table listening to calming music. The goal of Reiki is to relax the mind and body. When the body is relaxed, healing can take place.
Reflexology
Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to the feet and hands utilizing specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil, cream or lotion based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands.

Therapy
When we are connected to our purpose, we have a momentum that expands and enlivens us. When we are disconnected from the truth within there is a sense of futility to our experience. Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, and other problems we experience are often symptoms of our disconnection from our truth. Therapy is the process of reconnection to that place of true knowing. *When do I feel the best? *Truly like myself? *The most alive? The techniques used can vary depending on the presenting issue. I am versed in analytic, cognitive and dialectical behavioral, somatic, mind/body approaches to healing.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine looks at health as a state of vitality – not merely the absence of disease. In functional disorders, laboratory tests may be in normal ranges, but there is still an imbalance in the system, indicated b the presence of symptoms. The symptom of infertility may be caused by an underlying sub-clinical imbalance, particularly in the thyroid gland. A number of interventions may be reccomended to intervene with these imbalances, for example nutritional supplements.
